["COINTELPRO was the FBI's secret program to undermine the popular
upsurge which swept the country during the 1960s.....The FBI set out
to eliminate "radical" political opposition inside the US. When
traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and
prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing
insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into
its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to sabotage
constitutionally- protected political activity. Its methods ranged far
beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert
action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world."--
